Cygnet's old 'bottom pub' has turned its front dining space into an all-day cafe, serving light meals and coffee. But where you really want to be is in the dim-lit bistro out the back, where you can order slap-up steak, curry, some seafood dishes, a pasta dish or a mighty schnitzel spread.
This is a great family pub and their night time dining patronage is testimony to their great pub food.
Enjoy the bar, chat with the locals and enjoy a great selection of beverages and bar snacks.
